Bright Angel… Hiney Num-Nums be Damned!

Yesterday we hiked down to the first rest house of the Bright Angel Trail. It is 1&1/2 miles down with a 1200 foot drop in elevation. The views were stunning and changed at each switchback. To say this was a stretch for this height adverse being is an understatement. The hiney num-nums, a term we use to fondly described my physical reaction to heights, only kicked in a few times. I was too busy looking down to make sure I didn’t stumble. Well, what goes down must come up. We trekked back up that 1200 feet like champs! It was another accomplishment that made me very thankful for my bionic knees.

We still enjoy planning our own travel (most of the time😉). Using “Third Home”, a home exchange program, has added a new dimension to our travel planning. As Andy Dufresne says “Either get busy living, or get busy dying” View all posts by robmin57
